I'm actually preparing such a talk that includes information on OSS 
licenses.  I hadn't planned to give it at GTALUG.  If there was interest I 
would.

The talk is entitled "What is Open Source" and is intended to explain it 
to businesses and others who are considering using OSS in their business 
or releasing s/w under an OSS license.  It focuses on business aspects 
such as ways that successful companies have made money out of OSS.

Cheers,

Rob
